Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 443 The more difficult the rules, the more excited people become.

Cheng Tian was not intimidated by this seemingly extremely demanding challenge, but immediately grasped several key aspects of it.

From one ban in the round of 16 to four bans in the final, it was indeed outrageous, but it didn't completely leave no chance for anyone to survive.

At least the player's talents and titles are usable.

At this moment, Cheng Tian fully realized the meaning of the word "talent".

Then there's the challenge itself, which is non-punitive. If you feel your life is in danger, you can simply give up the challenge and prioritize survival. And it's not like there's no chance of it being triggered again after you give up, which greatly reduces the psychological burden of giving up.

And here's the most important point... it didn't ban its own teammates!

Although you are forced to start in each round and face the enemy first, it does not mean that losing directly equates to failing the challenge.

To put it extremely, even if I forfeit at the start, as long as Eileen and Bazett can perform well enough to completely crush the opponent, then I, who do nothing, will still be considered to have succeeded in the challenge.

Knowing when to give up, making reasonable concessions, and trusting teammates are crucial for conserving resources and ensuring the success of the upcoming challenges.

Oh, and there's one more very crucial thing.

Cheng Tian looked at the mental energy lightning that was flowing through his fingertips.

This method of applying mental power, derived from S-level skills and as instinctive as breathing or blinking, should be able to circumvent the rules of prohibited skills.

But then again, are all extreme limit breakthrough challenges this bizarre?
Or is it just me who feels this way?

Cheng Tian was unaware of this, but he still told Eileen about his extreme value breakthrough challenge as soon as possible.

When you're alone, you can do whatever you want. But Cheng Tian was prepared to take responsibility when he decided to form a team. His situation regarding the X-ban challenge would definitely affect the subsequent competition, and this was something that needed to be addressed.

Upon hearing that Cheng Tian had actually received an extreme breakthrough challenge mission, Eileen's face instantly transformed into a wise expression reminiscent of Marushir.

"Really? So fast?"

As Eileen gradually recovered from her shock, she couldn't help but look at her stats. She was still a full 5 points short of the maximum agility attribute.

Of course, apart from her low strength, Eileen's spirit and charm attributes are quite high, exceeding the average level of agile archers, and her low health is also given an additional bonus by the Chaos Wand she had previously acquired.

Although I already knew that Cheng Tian had been stuck at his mental peak for a while, it was still a bit too fast for him to receive the peak breakthrough mission so soon.

According to Eileen's understanding, there is actually a hidden setting in the space: if a player is stuck at a certain level and cannot break through, the attribute points and skill points that can be obtained from the main quest dungeons will gradually decrease until only the Chosen Coins reward remains or the player simply dies in the dungeon.

Therefore, the idea of ​​getting yourself to 50 points in all four stats before advancing to the next level is theoretically extremely difficult.

The theoretical limit of what this can be achieved is probably only possible for players who have a smooth journey from entering the space, receive high or even top-level ratings in every main quest, break through before being stuck in a realm, and naturally obtain a large number of attribute points and skill points.

Eileen had also seen Cheng Tian's attributes: primarily spirit, secondarily charm, with mediocre strength and poor agility. But you have to understand, this has only been a few months!
Are we about to enter the Bronze stage?

"A challenge! I have to take the challenge! If you give up now, how much of a favor will I owe you!?"

Eileen immediately expressed her support and decided to give her full assistance.

But when he learned the more detailed rules of the X-ban from Cheng Tian, ​​he couldn't help but grab his face, pulling it forcefully to both sides, and muttering, "Items, equipment, professions, skills—all banned!? This is too unreasonable..."

"It's alright. As long as you have talent and new skills, the impact isn't too significant."

As Cheng Tian spoke, he demonstrated the Stand world and the various elemental effects generated by his mental power.

Eileen still doesn't know, or rather, deliberately hasn't asked the game expert about the specific effects. She only knows that it's a special talent that randomly grants limited skills based on the dungeon.

As for the Origin Battle Technique, a skill that is still fresh and exciting for Cheng Tian himself, it is equally fresh and exciting for Eileen.

"As I said before, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you fail the challenge, there are other opportunities. However, compared to myself, you guys, who have no restrictions, may be the key to my success."

Cheng's words of comfort were meaningless; instead, they made Eileen feel that the responsibility on her shoulders had suddenly become even heavier.

It feels so good to put pressure on others!
With his hand on Eileen's shoulder, Cheng Tian's gaze swept over the surroundings. Apart from still not being well-liked by Mina, Bazett, Utan, and even the elephants and pterosaurs released into the "park" all showed a supportive attitude.

Cheng Tian pressed the option to accept the "Mental Extreme Breakthrough Challenge".

In an instant, a current different from mental lightning surged through his body, causing him to shudder.

When the panel was opened again, the inventory had turned completely red.

Ban it now?
【...What else?】

After a moment of surprise, Cheng Tian quickly figured out the problem.

Take the ban on items as an example. If it's only banned on the field but not off the field, then players can easily replenish their health and mana after a frantic period of exertion on the field. This is clearly not a thorough ban.

However, Cheng Tian's Void Garage, which originated from his title, remained unaffected; he could still access and store vehicles and elephants, although it could not be used on the racetrack.

After confirming that his inventory was no longer usable, Cheng Tian immediately checked the scheduled match.

Although the match schedule hasn't been released yet, the match schedule has already been decided.

先是用两天的时间来完成16进8的比赛，再分别给8进4和4进2各预留一天，最后一天则是全部交给决赛，整个赛程走完大概要进行5天。

Even if everything goes smoothly, he can only be fully unblocked after winning or losing the championship on the fifth day.

Moreover, the key point is that this tournament is bound to have some unexpected problems. Even if all the MUGEN elements are temporarily removed, King of Fighters '97 will still cause trouble on its own.

Iori goes berserk, Leona goes berserk, Hell Band awakens... and most importantly, Orochi is resurrected.

I don't know if these special events will interfere with the normal course of the competition, or if they will be related to my challenge mission.

Many possibilities can arise even outside of the competition.

Although Shadow Luo has fallen, Sound Nest still exists. Cheng Tian doesn't believe that Sound Nest, which suffered a great loss here, will let it go so easily.

The thought of a whole host of random events that might interfere with his challenge didn't annoy Cheng, who was never lacking in adventurous spirit. Instead, he felt a surge of eagerness to try.
